Keeping birds well goes beyond providing seed and a clean cage. Breeding pairs need the right soft foods and nesting materials to raise healthy chicks. Hand-reared baby birds need a specialist formula that supports rapid growth without the risks of improper nutrition. Aviary birds benefit from nesting materials that mirror what they would seek in nature. Avione is a bird care brand that understands these specific needs and produces a focused range of practical products covering nutrition, nesting and rearing across the most commonly kept bird species in Australia. At The Vet Shed we stock the core Avione range for finch, budgie, canary and parrot keepers.

Avione Food and Nutrition Products

Avione Egg and Biscuit 1kg - A high-protein soft food formulated for breeding and rearing birds. Egg and biscuit is a staple in aviculture, providing a readily digestible protein and energy source that parent birds can crop-feed to chicks and that breeding hens rely on to maintain condition during the physically demanding breeding period. Suitable for most seed-eating bird species including finches, canaries, budgies and parrots.
Avione Hand Rearing Formula 1kg - A specialist formula for feeding baby birds that have been pulled from the nest for hand rearing, or for supporting chicks that parents are not feeding adequately. Hand rearing requires a nutritionally complete formula that covers all the requirements of rapid avian growth, and using a purpose-designed product rather than improvised foods is critical to successfully rearing healthy birds.
Millet 1kg - Plain millet seed, a highly palatable treat and foraging supplement for most small to medium bird species. Millet is widely used for training, as an enrichment food scattered through nesting material for foraging activity, and as a high-palatability supplement for birds that need encouragement to eat during moult, illness or stress.
Millet Spray Mix Selection 400g and Avione Millet Spray Mix Selection 200g - Mixed millet sprays in their natural seeded form, providing birds with the stimulating experience of foraging and eating seed directly from the stem. Natural spray millet is more engaging than loose seed and encourages the pecking and stripping behaviour that keeps birds mentally active.

Avione Nesting Products

Avione Finch Nesting Material 110g - Soft nesting material designed for small birds including finches and canaries. Providing appropriate nesting material alongside nest boxes significantly improves nesting success rates, as birds instinctively line their nests with soft, insulating material to protect eggs and maintain the warmth chicks need in the first days after hatching.
Avione Parrot Nesting - Nesting material formulated for larger birds including parrots. The coarser, more substantial material suits the larger nest boxes and more robust nesting habits of parrot species, providing a comfortable base layer for egg incubation and chick rearing.
Avione Swamp Grass - A natural grass-based nesting material suitable for a wide range of aviary birds. Swamp grass mimics the vegetation many bird species use to construct nests in the wild, encouraging natural nest-building behaviour and providing a familiar, comfortable nesting substrate. Available in multiple sizes.
Avione Small Sterile Feathers 40g - Sterilised small feathers used as a soft lining material for nests. Birds instinctively seek feathers to insulate the inner cup of their nests, and providing sterile feathers eliminates the disease risk that can come from untreated found feathers while still satisfying this natural nesting drive. Particularly popular with finch and canary breeders.

FAQs About Avione Bird Products

What is Avione Egg and Biscuit used for?

Avione Egg and Biscuit is a soft food supplement used primarily during breeding and rearing periods when birds have elevated protein requirements. Breeding hens need additional protein to support egg production and maintain their own condition. Parent birds use soft foods like egg and biscuit to feed chicks during the first critical weeks after hatching, as it is easily digested and provides rapid nutrition for growing birds. It can be offered daily during the breeding season and reduced or removed outside of it to avoid stimulating out-of-season breeding behaviour.

How do I use the Avione Hand Rearing Formula?

The Avione Hand Rearing Formula is mixed with warm water to create a crop food of the appropriate consistency for the age and species of the chick being reared. Younger hatchlings require a thinner consistency while older chicks can manage a thicker mix. The formula is administered by syringe or spoon directly into the crop at regular feeding intervals throughout the day. Frequency and volume depend on the chick's age, species and growth rate. Hand rearing requires commitment, the right technique and clean equipment at every feeding. If you are new to hand rearing, consulting an experienced aviculturist or avian vet before beginning is strongly recommended.

What nesting material is best for finches?

Finches typically prefer soft, fine nesting materials that they can weave and compress into a tight nest cup. The Avione Finch Nesting Material is specifically designed for small birds and provides the fine, soft fibres finches prefer. The Avione Sterile Feathers make an excellent addition as a nest lining that adds insulation and softness to the inner cup. The Avione Swamp Grass provides a more natural grass-based option that mimics the materials many wild finch species use. Providing a selection of materials and allowing the birds to choose what they incorporate is a practical approach that supports natural nesting behaviour.

Why use sterile feathers rather than collected feathers for nesting?

Feathers found in the environment can carry mites, lice, bacteria and fungal spores that pose a disease risk when introduced to a nest containing eggs or chicks. The Avione Small Sterile Feathers are treated to eliminate these risks, allowing birds to satisfy their instinct to line nests with feathers without introducing potential pathogens to the nest environment. This is particularly important in breeding setups where biosecurity is a priority.

Is millet spray better than loose millet for birds?

Both have their place but millet spray provides a richer enrichment experience. Loose millet from a food bowl requires no effort from the bird. Millet spray attached to the cage or hung in the aviary requires the bird to actively work at stripping seeds from the stem, which engages natural foraging behaviour, provides physical activity and extends the time spent eating in a more mentally stimulating way. Millet spray is also highly attractive to birds and can be useful for encouraging reluctant eaters or newly introduced birds to settle and feed.

Can Avione products be used for lorikeets and nectar-feeding birds?

The Avione nesting and feather products are suitable for any bird species that engages in nest-building behaviour, including lorikeets. The food products including egg and biscuit and hand rearing formula are primarily designed for seed-eating species. Lorikeets and other nectar-feeding birds have specific dietary needs that differ from seed eaters, so dedicated lorikeet food products are more appropriate for their primary nutrition. Check with your avian vet or an experienced lorikeet keeper if you are considering using any supplement outside its primary intended species group.
